     ViewSonics have been rolling into primary classrooms at the elementary sites. All elementary sites are receiving a few ViewSonics on campus intended to be used in K-2 classrooms. These offer both teaching and learning benefits for the classrooms. With the ability for students to simultaneously interact with content, and the appeal, accessibility and functionality of a giant tablet. ViewBoard brings added creativity, collaboration, fun and learning to classrooms.  Familiar touch screens make it easy to use for both students and teachers.

     Some additional benefits of using these IFPs are they  allow for interactive capabilities, better touch accuracy, freedom from chords and offer mobility to be able to be moved around the classroom and on campus. Mobility has been an important factor in the ViewBoard’s success throughout the school, along with the added flexibility delivered by the slot-in PC and wireless control.

     Features designed for education make the pre-installed ViewBoard software easy to integrate into any curriculum. The software allows users write, highlight, and edit on top of any content, including the integrated web browser. Teachers can easily pull up content from Wonders and Bridges. Primary teachers can use these IFPs to teach drag and drop activities using Google Slides along with  teaching students how to close read with annotating text. Teachers and students can interact with the free math apps in the Math Learning Center in Bridges. ViewSonics can have a great impact on both engagement and collaboration when used effectively in the classroom.
